This page will be updated constantly, so folks can check back at any time for new listings and suggestions to help fulfill their Live Local pledge.

Reminder: When shopping locally (and with cash), 80 cents of every dollar stays in the community.Clothing: Tomlinson’s 922 South College Rd; (910) 392-6253www.tomlinsonsales.com
